A lot of people who want to try vitamin C for the first time hold back because of past experiences with concentrated formulas that left their skin irritated or red. That’s exactly where the Dr.Althea Gentle Vitamin C 20% Serum – 30ml<\/strong> comes in, the ideal starting point for anyone new to vitamin C.<\/p>\n

The formula is built around niacinamide and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (a stable form of vitamin C), along with sea buckthorn extract, naturally rich in vitamin C beyond levels found in many fruits, all within a minimal formula of under 20 ingredients. That makes it one of the safest options from Dr. Althea<\/a> for sensitive and acne-prone skin. You can also browse more of our Korean skincare products<\/a> to complete your routine.<\/p>\n
